These smooth, curved blades were crafted centuries ago by the legendary night elven priest Tal'Kierthan, who employed special songs in their construction. As a result, the sword constantly chants in a barely audible elven voice that rises in timbre as the blade engages in combat. A "songblade" is an elegant weapon and a joy to wield, but, sadly, few have survived over the years.[1](MM&M 120)
